Are you a female founder, leader or executive looking for the next step in your business journey?
Introducing the Women’s International Network (WIN Programme).
Imagine a world where female-led businesses soar to new heights, where opportunities are boundless, and your success knows no limits.
WIN is a movement poised to revolutionise the business landscape for female entrepreneurs like you. We're here to shatter barriers, embrace opportunities, and empower you to take your business to extraordinary heights.
What does the programme offer?
Receive tailored support: We understand the unique challenges you face, from funding to balancing family care. We're here to find ways to overcome them with you.
Unleash your potential: Discover how to access overseas markets, bridge the influence gap and propel your business further and faster through virtual training, business mentoring and panel discussions.
Connect and grow: Join a closed network of trailblazing female entrepreneurs to share insights, learn from each other, and build lasting connections that fuel your success.
Take it to the next level: Our programme concludes with an opportunity to join a trade mission. This will allow you to put learning into practice and make it start to happen for your business.
What if you can't make the trade mission?
Don't worry! We know not everyone will join the mission for numerous reasons, personal to you and your business, but your journey continues within the Women's International Network – your WIN cohort. This cohort will feed into future cohorts and so the learning and the networking and scaling of businesses will continually evolve. It’s all very exciting and we’d love for you to join us.

Key partners
We have gathered highly respected professionals in the industry who empower women in their careers and can provide practical strategies you can draw on to tackle challenging conversations and decisions.
Why a programme just for women?
Studies, like the 2019 Review of Female Entrepreneurship commissioned by HM Treasury, have revealed a stark reality - far less female-owned and led businesses export than male led ones.
And, if women scaled businesses at the same rate as men, up to £250bn of new value could be added to the UK economy. That's a staggering amount of untapped potential - and it's waiting for you!
